The Story Behind This Book

The plot for Nothing Comes Close grew out of an online series titled In My Dreams It Was Simpler that Tolulope Popoola created and co-wrote with eight other writers. She created the main cast, and picked two of them as protagonists for her novel. “The online series ended on a cliff-hanger.” She said. “I wanted to get my female protagonist to a point where she was satisfied with the choices she had made for her future. With the novel, I got to make that happen.”
The story captures the ups and downs of a girl, her group of friends and her love interest as they try to navigate careers, heartbreaks, loyalty and cultural expectations in an exciting and entertaining way.
